Today we brought home our second little miracle! Luke Richard Stephens was born Wednesday at 12:36PM and it was a blessing to be able to deliver him myself...What a neat experience to have during a lifetime! He was not exactly a little fellow - almost 21 inches long and weighing in at 9lbs. 15oz.! Mom and Daddy (along with the grandparents) are really happy to meet him) though Garrett is still wondering about how to cope with this little bomb that was dropped onto his world. However, he's hanging in there.
We brought him home though with reservation and a little anxiety though as we have learned more about Luke's right kidney. He has what is called a right hydronephrosis - a blockage somewhere between the kidney and bladder causing the kidney to swell along with the ureter. We don't know where the blockage is located but there will be a couple of tests this week that will hopefully let us know whether this is a problem to be corrected surgically or left alone to correct on its own. We appreciate your prayers as we raise this little guy!
